Newton's Nook Designs’ 5 Year Celebration Blog Hop

Hello Newton fans and welcome to our 5 year anniversary blog hop at Newton's Nook Designs!!! I'm so excited to be sharing a little more from this amazing July release, PLUS more prizes AND some extra freebies just for ordering! Stay tuned for more information on that below!

A quick little shout out to Jennifer and Jeff Jackson to congratulate them on 5 years of producing amazing products and for allowing me to be part of this wonderful team! Every month I'm wowed by their creativity and look forward to every release!

For my first card today, I've used Narly Mermaids to create a fun ocean scene! I colored up a the images using Copic markers. I die cut the waves from the Sea Borders die set, then distress inked them in Tim Holtz Salty Ocean. I flicked white acrylic paint cut 50/50 with water using my paint brush to create interest on the waves. I used TH Squeezed Lemonade and Worn Lipstick distress inks on my sky to create the sunset and also added a little white flicked paint as if they stars were beginning to show at twilight.

I'm going to be giving this card to a friend who will be moving away soon. I found this sweet little sentiment in the Paradise Palms stamp set, "Find Your Paradise", which seems like a perfect thing to say to someone embarking on a long move to a new area. I stamped it on the sky along with the little sun and a few birds flying across the horizon.

I'm also adding a second card that I wasn't sure I was going to share. But my husband said he liked it, so I thought I would! I used the new 2x3 Flip Flop Life set and colored up a bunch of flip flops in different Copic colors, mounted them in a row on a kraft background. I added a couple of tiny fish from one of the other July release sets and I doodled the lines and dots around the card, which is a first for me. What do you think of this look?
